i stated my point. florida is not the 'south' . too many foreigners, not enough blacks. etc.
its too much of a melting pot. all the true southern states have pretty similar percentages of blacks and foreign-speaking peoples.
the most racist place i've ever been is australia.
my cousins up in ohio are way more racist than 90% of the people i know in the south, because their towns are so white, [2 black kids in their large public high school for example].
go to a public school in savannah and it's probably majority black or close to even, kids aren't growing up segregated here. my county was largely Obama, etc.
i really don't think you've lived here in the south suchfriends, and i really don't think you should make sweeping generalizations based on a few people who tell you stories about their neighbors.
